I know UltraFJ had it at one time.
Alan and I did a swap/buyback thingy after his Dodge put him in a ditch. He then refinished the truck to a prettier finish and it was sold again.
I think it may have left the country from what I remember.
Anywho heres a shot of it.
Great truck.

Always love seeing that rig. Can't wait to see what Alan comes up with next.
I was very happy with the modifications that were done to it. It's kind of like having a truck and a Cruiser. Wet Dogs, leaky hydraulic cylinders, 55 gallon drums of oil and fuels, anything that would make a mess or make a stink was put back there.
The only thing I really wanted that I didn't have on the truck was a removable rack system that would allow me to carry full sheets of plywood or 12' length boards (Can't do that in a 100 either
). I guess I could've fabbed one up but I didn't have the truck long enough to take the time.
By the way, the winch was in the back which made it great for pulling jet ski's, dead vehicles and boats onto trailers. Not to mention the occasional Chebby or two.
When it was cut, it also made it lighter up top, which was nice. The center of gravity was lowered when the top was taken off. It handled like a 911.
Just kidding about the handling part, but it was a fun truck. I heard someone actually rec'd a speeding ticket doing 85+ in a 70 zone (Not Podvin of course) just after we swapped back. Mind you, the truck had PJ Super Dirt Grip 36x14's on it at the time. It really handled well to say the least. In order to accomodate those tires, even the 38's that were there originally, it was mostly body lift (4" IIRC) and a 3" inch suspension lift. Thus not really changing the handling too much.
I'll post up a few more pics of it here this evening or tomm morning. I am leaving again, but just stopped at the house to clean up before I pick up my son.
